Previously released court records show authorities sought information from dozens of tech companies, including Amazon, Google and Meta, Facebook's parent company. The records they received remain unclear.
Using a profile photo that appeared to show a man in an old-fashioned military uniform that some have suggested looks similar to Kohberger's actual appearance, the account was known for cryptic posts about specific evidence, including a reference to a knife sheath before police revealed they recovered one.
Some observers — in Moscow and beyond — believe Kohberger was behind the account. Especially since no one has come forward and claimed responsibility in the three years he's been behind bars. But posts from the account have largely vanished.

Screenshots taken before the account was taken down show Pappa Rodger predicted that the killer left behind a knife sheath as early as Nov. 30, 2022. Although a Ka-Bar knife had already been identified as a potential murder weapon and other people said they had already speculated about a sheath by then, it was the phrasing that set off alarm bells for one of the administrators.
"He also didn't say ‘a sheath’ — he said ‘the sheath,' which is really eerie," said Kristine Cameron, one of the people behind the "University of Idaho Murders - Case Discussion" group on Facebook.
